HMWYBS - In-Camera. Pelicans

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Everyone,
This is my final offering for the week and is pretty much straight from the camera. Taken last February at Little Estero Lagoon whilst standing next to Denise :)
1D 3 500 f/4 (rented) + 1.4
ISO 200
f/45 1/4 sec
Exp comp @ + 1
HH
Cropped to taste and tweaked in curves.
This is absolutely one of my all time favourite images - I love the sense of calm that it brings, although I think that perhaps it works best as a print.
Look forward to your C & C's :)
Best as always,
Nicki

Very nice artistic impression Nicki. I remember the day well! The high key look along w/ the reflection really puts this over the top for me!

Nicki, I love the graceful curves and the high key look. It's abstract in such a graceful way and is gorgeous.:)

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Thank you girls - I'm glad you enjoyed the image :)

Just super Nicki! Really like the impressionistic painting look and the subdued colors. The blur really works well. I can see that a print would look really nice...

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Thank you Kerry - much appreciated :)

Another beautiful composition, Nicki. I too love the impressionistic look. The colors are nice - hk and blur makes this is a special one. TFS.

Thank you very much Indranil :)

Hi, I like the composition, colors and the high key light. I see your portfolio and I would want to define your work as "corageus"... and very original IMHO.
